Currently I use an Asus gaming monitor w/ a DVI cable. (Asus VE228H 21.5-Inch, to be specific). I plan to buy a used Dell monitor (Dell 19" LED Monitor E1914H, at least that's what I can tell from the picture), which has a VGA cable (which my mobo supports). My graphics card is a Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5. Am I able to run a dual monitor set up with these monitors, cables, and graphics card? Thanks!

To start you don't connect the display cables to your motherboard you connect them to your gpu.

You'll also have to use a DVI to vga adapter it should come with one it'll be in the gpu box.

Silly me, I forgot that you plug it into the graphics card Are DVI to VGA adapters reliable? I'm most likely going to use it for using internet when playing games, so if I do lose some quality, I'm not concerned.
